The analysis includes the course and dynamics of the debates and, most importantly, the panorama of opinions revealed in the process. It embraces the debates held across the entire spectrum of the national press. The selection of press was not limited by the level of circulation or a subjective opinion of their value. The main intention was to reconstruct the widest possible variety of opinions that were revealed during the debates. Broad symbolic elites participated in the debates: people who exercised control over publicly accessible knowledge, legitimacy of beliefs and the content of public discourse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Public Discourse – Collective Memory and Collective Forgetting – Collective Forgetting of the Holocaust – The Holocaust – Anti-Semitism – Difficult Past – Jan Tomasz Gross’ \u003ci\u003eNeighbours\u003c\/i\u003e – Crime in Jedwabne – Claude Lanzmann’s \u003ci\u003eShoah\u003c\/i\u003e – Jan Błoński’s essay \u003ci\u003eThe Poor Poles Look at the Ghetto\u003c\/i\u003e –  Hate Speech – Political Transition – Symbolic Elites.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044218569047,"sku":"9783631623657","price":50.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783631623657.jpg?v=1750960905","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/reconstructing-memory-the-holocaust-in-polish-public-debates-9783631623657","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
